It further contained thanks for a photograph of Hursley Church spire and Vicarage, which had been taken one summer afternoon, at the desire of Dr. 'I shall like the photograph of Hursley Vicarage and Church, the lawn and group upon it. But most shall I like to think that Mr. Keble, and I dare say Dr. Moberly too, pray for me and this Mission.

Perhaps there never were two country gentlemen, who did greater credit to the character of genuine old English hospitality, than the then owners of Hursley Lodge, in Hampshire, and Dinton House, in Wiltshire. My old school-fellow, the present proprietor of Dinton, still keeps up the character of an hospitable English country gentleman; but, alas!

Never mind, a good growl to you is a fine restorative, and really I get on very well somehow. 'Well, good-bye, you dear Sisters, 'Your affectionate Brother, On the last day of February came the new 'Southern Cross, and two delightful notes announced it to the Vicar of Hursley and to myself in one envelope.
